I have played in the snow with grand-children, beaten snow into Persian carpets (a good way to clean them), walked up a local mountain (1500 feet), when I was younger, taken photos of front door for X mas cards, lite the fire and chilled all afternoon, sledged down the slope in the meadows, been out photographing frozen dew on the trees... but I'm sorry no running in the snow! I did do my PB over 1/2 marathon in Feb, when it was so cold, i had to leg it to keep warm, there was ice... but not snow. Snow is for fun. Even in Farnborough.

Canute - Farnborough is in Hampshire (Posh county) . For the past couple of years we've had snow settle for days/weeks and it's impossible to walk on so i was going to get some of those trax so i could still go out for little jogs. Ice marathon..... Me?? NO!

Thanks RIPP, just leaving shortly as i have a long journey. I found some pain killing gel in the medical cupboard last night so i've smothered some of that on. The good news is the pain has subsided a bit, the bad news is i smell!
